OK, so. I'm working on a side project that might or might not see the light of day here, and I have a question I can't recall the answer to. I remember that in MJD's late and lamented 1248 setting, the Empress Wave was discovered to be a psionic call for help from an unknown human race way far Coreward, a call the Star Vikings ended up leaving known space to answer. What I can't recall for the life of me are two salient facts:
1) How far away from Charted Space were they and
2) What, exactly, was the danger they were asking for help confronting?
Unfortunately, while I still have the Freedom League book my copy of Out of the Darkness bit it in my last computer crash, so I can't look it up myself even though I did own the book once upon a time, and shelling out $35 for a CD doesn't exactly appeal. Can someone enlighten me on those two points, on list or off?
Thanks.
And if that subject line doesn't start a flame war, I don't know what will. Might have to throw in some female Aslan pir- ah, hell, too easy. ;)
